Type for money (decimal)

[worldmind]

Now connexion cast number to float, but for money parameters needed decimal type

@worldmind please take a look at http://connexion.readthedocs.io/en/latest/cookbook.html#custom-type-format . Let me know if it does not help.

If i understood right is only part of solution - it is only about validation, but user shoud be manually convert goted string to decimal type for using it.
I think it framework job - it must return value with right type.

I think if we would do this in Connexion we would need to carry out all the responsibility to handle precision, etc. Not sure how we would tackle this issue.

Also OpenAPI spec does not provide the decimal type.

Due to no support for decimals in the OpenAPI spec, I think this issue should be closed. You can support decimal in your API, but you need to implement yourself the conversion.

Create OAI/OpenAPI-Specification#889

As I understood they think that frameworks must create decimal values from type: number, format: decimal and some people do it OAI/OpenAPI-Specification#607 (comment)
They move formats from specification to separate registry in OAI/OpenAPI-Specification#845 and add format decimal in OAI/OpenAPI-Specification#607
I think that will be not bad if connexion will support format decimal and convert type: number, format: decimal to Decimal type.
